KTM shuttle to Johor Bahru

The KTM shuttle from Woodlands to Johore Bahru takes 5 minutes to complete the journey. The boarding and alighting time can be 2 mins. It should be possible to complete a return journey within 15 mins.

Currently, the average interval between the trains is 75 mins. It should be possible to increase the capacity by 5 times.

Each trip can carry 320 passengers or a total of 1,600 passengers an hour, or 20,000 a day.

This can relief the jam on the causeway somewhat.

If you go to Johore through the train checkpoint, you pass through the two checkpoints in the same building. It can clear quick quickly.

  1. It can be cleared quickly so that Singaporean got no jobs and room rental and retailers close shop. Don't think we want that??$1 for $3?
